Scott Morrison slams Albanese government after Netanyahu criticism over UN voteFor the College Football Playoff, it’s one last dress rehearsal. It’s also one last chance to see just how much the selection committee loves the Southeastern Conference. The best gauge when the second-to-last rankings come out Tuesday night will be whether Miami, which suffered its second loss of the season over the weekend, is placed behind any or all three SEC teams with three losses — Alabama, Mississippi and South Carolina — all of which are coming off wins. After a 42-38 loss to Syracuse that cost Miami a spot in the ACC title game, coach Mario Cristobal emphasized the nature of his team’s two losses — both by less than one touchdown — and said “that makes us one of the better teams in the country.” He wasn’t the only one lobbying to make the 12-team field, which is eight teams larger than it has been. Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin went to social media and emptied out the stats book, pointing out a flurry of numbers that he says favor the Rebels over the other SEC teams (without mentioning Miami at all). Not surprisingly, Shane Beamer of South Carolina and Kalen DeBoer of Alabama were pushing for their teams, too. Part of any argument on the behalf of the SEC leans on its teams simply playing tougher schedules because of the opponents in their own conference. That argument has one hole. Texas, which has only one loss and has been the highest ranked SEC team since Nov. 12, owns the 32nd toughest strength of schedule — the worst among all 16 SEC teams (but still 22 spots higher than Miami). Warde Manuel, the chair of the selection committee, has been asked every question in every way over the past month, all of which boil down to this: What is the committee looking for in setting the CFP rankings and, coming up on Sunday, the bracket? Though he has brought up strength of schedule more than most factors, he has also been noncommittal when reporters have tried to nail him down on specifics, offering observations like: “We value winning.” And: “If it was just about strength of schedule, we wouldn’t be needed.” And this: “What we’ve been asked to do is to judge and to look at how teams are playing against the competition that they have and to rank them accordingly to how we see it.” All of which makes a great case for another measure the selection committee can use: the completely subjective “eye test,” which is essentially what poll voters used for decades before number crunching and analytics supposedly turned the task of picking national-title candidates into a more scientific process. While Miami and the ACC wait to see where they stand, the Big 12 is having a moment of its own. Nobody there is happy with the prospect of a single bid that could very well not even include a bye, which go to the four top-ranked conference champions regardless of their overall CFP ranking. One of those free passes to the quarterfinals could belong to Boise State of the Mountain West instead of the winner of Saturday’s Big 12 title game between Arizona State and Iowa State. It was the coach of another Big 12 team, Texas Tech’s Joey McGuire, who gave the most impassioned plea for his conference while also questioning the SEC, which has six teams arguing for spots in the 12-team field. “We need to quit looking at what patch, what the logo says on your jersey, what conference you’re from,” he said. “Look at the tape. I know some of the guys on (the committee). I’m shocked that some of the old football coaches who know what they’re looking at are not having more influence.” There are four former coaches on the 13-person selection committee. Because this is a new format with billions at stake, and because the SEC and Big Ten wield more power under this new arrangement, a lot of people from a lot of conferences are anxious. Yes, some deserving teams will get snubbed or overlooked and not everyone will walk away from Sunday’s bracket reveal believing this is a perfect system. But there are a few scenarios this week that could trigger more than just your day-after bellyaching: MOUNTAIN WEST: A UNLV win over Boise State would bring a team in the deep teens into the tournament, and also rekindle a story about everything that’s wrong with the NIL era: The September departure of Rebels QB Matthew Sluka. SEC: A loss to Texas by Georgia would be its third and would test just how much the committee values teams that play in conference title games. Remember, Alabama (9-3) beat Georgia in September. SEC II: A Texas loss to the Dawgs would give the Longhorns two L’s to the same team — the only team they’ve played with a Football Power Index (ESPN’s metric) in the top 15. ACC: Clemson beating SMU would put the Mustangs on alert for getting passed over, but at least they had their chance. BIG TEN: A Penn State win over Oregon would leave us with no undefeated team in the bracket, no real favorite in the tournament and would put the front-running Ducks in position to need a first-round win to possibly earn a rematch with well-rested Boise State ( remember the 37-34 nailbiter in September? ).

WASHINGTON (AP) — The chair of the Democratic National Committee informed party leaders on Monday that the DNC will choose his successor in February, an election that will speak volumes about how the party wants to present itself during four more years of Donald Trump in the White House. Jaime Harrison, in a letter to members of the party’s powerful Rules & Bylaws Committee, outlined the process of how the party will elect its new chair. Harrison said in the letter that the committee will host four candidate forums — some in person and some virtually — in January, with the final election on Feb. 1 during the party’s winter meeting in National Harbor, Maryland. The race to become the next chair of the Democratic National Committee, while an insular party affair, will come days after Trump is inaugurated for a second term. Democrats' selection of a leader after Vice President Kamala Harris’ 2024 loss will be a key starting point as the party starts to move forward, including addressing any structural problems and determining how to oppose Trump. Members of the Rules & Bylaws Committee will meet on Dec. 12 to establish the rules for these elections, which beyond the chair position will include top party roles like vice chairs, treasurer, secretary and national finance chair. The committee will also use that meeting to decide the requirements for gaining access to the ballot for those top party roles. In 2021, candidates were required to submit a nominating statement that included signatures from 40 DNC members and that will likely be the same standard for the 2025 campaigns. “The DNC is committed to running a transparent, equitable, and impartial election for the next generation of leadership to guide the party forward,” Harrison said in a statement. “Electing the Chair and DNC officers is one of the most important responsibilities of the DNC Membership, and our staff will run an inclusive and transparent process that gives members the opportunity to get to know the candidates as they prepare to cast their votes.” Two Democrats have announced campaigns for chair: Ken Martin, chair of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party and a vice chair of the national party, and Martin O’Malley, the former Maryland governor and current commissioner of the Social Security Administration. Other top Democrats are either considering a run to succeed Harrison or are being pushed by party insiders, including former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke; Michael Blake, a former vice chair of the party; Ben Wikler, chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin; Rahm Emanuel, the U.S. ambassador to Japan and a former Chicago mayor; Sen. Mallory McMorrow, majority whip of the Michigan Senate, and Chuck Rocha, a longtime Democratic strategist. The next chair of the committee will be tasked with rebuilding a party demoralized by a second Trump victory. They will also oversee the party’s 2028 nominating process, a complex and contentious exercise that will make the chair central to the next presidential election. Harrison, of South Carolina, made clear in his letter to the rules committee that the four forums hosted by the party would be live streamed and the party would give grassroots Democrats across the country the ability to engage with the process through those events. He also said he intends to remain neutral during the chair election. This story has been corrected to show that McMorrow is a senator, not a representative.
Meta Announces Quarterly Cash DividendAussie has reportedly split with her long-time partner, just months after making comments about wanting to start a family in the near future. Details emerged this week that Fox and partner Mathieu Biazizzo parted ways earlier in 2024 after nine years together. The couple are said to have quietly split in May, before . It's believed the long-distance relationship with Frenchman Biazizzo - a fellow kayaker and canoeist - took a toll. The relationship between Fox and Biazizzo was kept rather quiet during their nine years together. He is also a professional slalom canoeist and kayaker and has competed for France at a number of world championships. In 2016 he won the K1 world title. Just last year Fox had spoken about the relationship and her desire to start a family and become a mother in the not-too distant future. “There’s always a bit of competition, especially if we’re training together,” she said about Biazizzo. “It is really special to be able to share that together. And the fact that he understands what I’m going through. It also helps that we go to bed early together. “Maybe there’ll be an opportunity to see if I want to have a baby and come back. They’re conversations that we’ll definitely be having in the next few years, probably.” Fans have been sending well-wishes to Fox on social media after the split was made public on Thursday. Neither Fox or Biazizzo have commented on the news. The 30-year-old . She's won three gold medals, a silver and two bronze from four Olympic Games, as well as 22 world championship medals - the most of any paddler. But she is craving more and won't be slowing down anytime soon. "It is that question of how do you stay motivated," she told AAP late last month. "And the day that I don't have that hunger to train like it is required and to race and I lose that enjoyment for my sport, then that is the day that I stop. "For me, I am lucky. I love what I do, I have got an amazing team who help me be the best I can be and I love pushing myself in training. And next year we have got the world championships in Penrith so that is what is going to keep me hungry and excited for the next 12 months. And after that, it's that build-up to LA (the 2028 Olympics)." Fox was given the honour of being Australia's flag bearer at the opening ceremony at this year's Olympics in Paris, where she also shared the joy of seeing . The Fox sisters have shot to superstardom in the months that have followed, , while Jess won Sport NSW's athlete of the year for a sixth time and has become an A-list celebrity. "Definitely still pinching myself ... at the moment there is multi-tasking happening all the time," she said. "It has been an incredible time being at home and having that time now to reflect and to celebrate. "Winning gold obviously means it is more visible and your sport is more visible. But I didn't realise just how big that was and how many people watched and how many people were invested in for me the K1 and then the C1. "And then how many followed Noemie's journey and that whole story and family moment really resonated with people and inspired so many. It made them feel emotion. And that is what is so beautiful about this sport. You're there for the thrill of the ride and you're feeling to joy ... but it's incredible to see the impact that it has had on people."
While Chatham-Kent administration and council were able to decrease the previously approved and revised tax increase almost in half, you can’t blame rural residents if they feel they’re bearing the brunt of the cuts as council will be eliminating dust suppression on rural roads and changing the application of gravel on roads from an average of once every three years to four years combined for about $2.3-million savings. The municipality is also beginning plans to divest Clearville Park, located on Clearville Road at Talbot Trail, which is owned and maintained by Chatham-Kent. After two nights of deliberations last week, council approved a tax increase of 4.99% for 2025, which equates to about a $100 hike per $100,000 residential assessment value. The first multi-year budget (2024-27) was passed last November with a 5.53% tax increase for 2024. The council also approved an 8.17% hike for 2025, 7.7% for 2026, and 7.3% for 2027, but these proposed increases will be reviewed and adjusted each year. Administration notified council late in the spring the approved 8.17% increase was up to 9.4%. However, when budget deliberations began on Nov. 26, the increase was lowered to 5.96% thanks to several savings found by the Executive Management Team and a surprising $2,051,265 in funding from the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund. Council voted 13-5 in favour of accepting the 4.99% increase at last Wednesday’s second night of deliberations. Ward 3 East Kent Councillor Morena MacDonald was among the 13 who voted for the 4.99% increase. The others were Ward 1, West Kent’s Melissa Harrigan and Lauren Anderson; Ward 2, South Kent’s Trevor Thompson; Ward 4, North Kent’s Jamie McGrail; Ward 5, Wallaceburg’s Carmen McGregor and Aaron Hall; Ward 6, Chatham’s Conor Allin, Brock McGregor, Marjorie Crew, Amy Finn and Alysson Storey; and Mayor Darrin Canniff. East Kent’s John Wright was one of the five opposing voters, along with South Kent’s Anthony Ceccacci and Ryan Doyle, North Kent’s Rhonda Jubenville and Chatham’s Michael Bondy. “It’s good that it’s under five percent, and I would have voted for it if they hadn’t cut Clearville Park,” said Wright. One of the savings administration proposed was divesting Clearville Park, which is owned and operated by the municipality. The property includes a trailer park, campground, parkland and a boat ramp. The 2025 Operating Budget report stated the municipality takes in $243,600 in revenue from rental fees but pays $188,635 in expenses plus another $55,025 in transfers to reserves, so there is no profit or loss. The budget update also anticipates $252,825 in both revenue and expenses for 2025. However, in the long term, Clearville Park will need $4,200,000 in capital improvements over the next 10 years. Wright is upset that the administration was pushing through this plan to divest the property without any input from council or the general public, namely from the seasonal renters. “This is their residence for some of them,” Wright said. “Some live here for six months and then go down to Florida or Arizona for the rest of the year. You can’t just kick them out.” Wright believes this divestment plan should have been discussed at a Council meeting instead of included in the budget. “We didn’t know, there was no public notice ... ‘let’s just sell it,’” Wright said. “There’s still too many unanswered questions.” Chatham-Kent CAO Michael Duben said the intention is to see if a private operator is interested in purchasing and operating the facility. The decision to sell the property or what to do with it if no buyer can be found would return to council. Wright said it wouldn’t be right to sell the property because the land was donated to the former Orford Twp., which the municipality inherited at amalgamation. Wright added, “The public park on the other side of the trailer park has been a park since 1816; it’s one of the longest-running parks in Chatham-Kent.” McDonald agreed with her Ward 3 partner. “Obviously, I don’t want to see that park go; it’s one of my favourite places,” McDonald said. “It would be good to get the residents’ thoughts on it.” Wright entered an unsuccessful motion to remove the divestment of Clearville Park from the budget, which was defeated 11-7. McDonald, Carmen McGregor, Finn, Jubenville, Storey, and McGrail agreed with the Ward 3 Councillor. Wright said he intends to bring the issue back for review and to seek public input at a future council meeting. Council also voted in favour of eliminating dust suppression service on rural roads, which resulted in $1.35 million in savings—a full percentage point—from the budget. Ward 5 Councillor McGregor entered an unsuccessful motion to put the money back into the budget to maintain the current dust control measures. “I think it’s lessening our service to our rural residents,” McGregor said. McDonald and Wright agreed. “I don’t think it was a good idea to remove the service without knowing more,” McDonald said. “I received some concerns so I figured it would be good to get more information on it.” Wright said he constantly gets complaints from residents about the dust on the roads. “And they’re going to get so many more complaints,” he said. Edward Soldo, General Manager of Infrastructure and Engineering, said the application of a brine compound is ineffective because it gets washed away after one or two rains. “From a staff perspective, it’s not an effective use of dollars, given its limited impact, Soldo said. He said municipalities across Canada have already eliminated dust suppression methods. “There’s a lot of different solutions people have tried, but it just doesn’t keep the dust down,” Soldo said. “At the end of the day, we’re a rural agricultural community; you’re never going to eliminate dust.” McGregor’s motion was defeated 11-7 as Wright, McDonald, McGrail, Harrigan, Jubenville, and Finn voted to maintain the service. Ceccacci entered a successful motion extending the application of gravel on roads from an average of once every three years to four years. A total of $1 million will be allocated to the Gravel Road Conversion Program, while the remaining $650,000 will be used to lower the 2025 tax rate. Administration said gravel roads would still receive their scheduled maintenance, but the $1 million savings will double the budget for converting them to tar and chip surfaces. Carmen McGregor, Jubenville, McGrail and Wright voted against the motion. “Our back roads are just going to take more of a pounding,” Wright said. The budget increase of 4.99% for 2025 includes investments in existing municipal services at 1.88%. In the absence of provincial and federal funding, 2.35% is allotted for investment in social issues, such as homelessness and housing costs. The budget update also includes $4,069,961 in infrastructure spending, allowing for increased spending on future improvements to infrastructure such as roads, drains, bridges and recreation facilities. The approved budget does not close libraries, rural service centres, arenas, or community supports. “Both Council and staff are putting in a great deal of effort to strategically balance inflation, societal challenges, and lack of upper-level government funding while ensuring infrastructure and services are maintained and improved for the residents of Chatham-Kent going forward,” said Mayor Canniff. “This increase, which is much lower than we originally anticipated, will help us maintain our extensive infrastructure and help address our community’s increasing need to invest in social issues that are becoming increasingly common throughout cities Canada-wide.” McDonald said she “learned a lot” in her first budget since taking over from Steve Pinsonneault, who vacated his Ward 3 seat to join the PC Party in the Ontario government in June. “It was great to hear from councillors who had been here much longer than I’ve been, and it was good to see how the process works, said McDonald. “We came in lower than last year, but we’re still facing a lot of pressures.”
ST. PAUL — A planned lottery to give some would-be cannabis business owners a licensing head start won’t go forward early this week after a judge halted the process Monday. Ramsey County District Court Judge Stephen Smith sided with a group of applicants who had been denied access to the social equity pre-approval lottery. They sued over a process they argued had lacked clear criteria and that left no room for appeals. ADVERTISEMENT “There’s no lottery tomorrow,” Smith ruled toward the end of an hourlong online hearing. He said the state was free to file an appeal. Ahead of the hearing, officials with the Office of Cannabis Management warned that the lottery might not happen at all if it was postponed given the cost and logistics of putting it on. Attorney David Asp, who represented some of the applicants, told Smith that the lottery was rushed and that people who were denied entry deserved a chance to contest their disqualification. “The state doesn’t dispute that our client will suffer irreparable harm if this order isn’t entered. That’s usually one of the main issues in an injunction, but it’s not a dispute here. Our clients will be harmed. As I said, more than $1,000,” Asp said. “The harm on the OCM side is entirely of their own making.” The Office of Cannabis Management had defended its process, saying they were attempting to root out applicants who were looking for a quick profit instead of actually moving to set up legitimate businesses. Officials with the regulatory agency said that some applications appeared to have been put in on behalf of other entrepreneurs trying to get a foothold in Minnesota’s nascent market. “The Legislature chose for this pre-approval process to be an efficient and expedient one, and part of that is evidenced by the fact that there is no appeals provided for for the pre-approval process, whereas in the final license approval process, there is an availability for reconsideration,” said the agency’s attorney, Ryan Petty. “So a major factor of this is the Legislature’s decision to make this process efficient and expedient so that the social equity applicants can get that head start.” There were more than 1,500 applicants for this stage of the licensing process, the agency said. The lottery was to narrow that down to 282. ADVERTISEMENT When the judge asked Petty about the timeline, including the lottery being scheduled shortly after denial letters went out, Petty said the selection process involved several moving parts. “There wasn’t any hiding the ball here. There wasn’t any attempt to restrict the ability of applicants to challenge their denials,” he said. State lawmakers legalized cannabis for adult recreational use in 2023, but the setup of a retail marketplace has been slow. No licenses have been issued for commercial growers or sellers ahead of what is expected to be an early 2025 launch. People can grow their own marijuana and give away small quantities. American Indian tribes have also opened their own stores, but those sales are limited to reservation land. The social equity lottery is intended to give a leg up to people who live in high-poverty areas, those harmed by the war on drugs, and military veterans.

Mumbai, Nov 24 (PTI) Anti-corruption activist and former AAP leader Anjali Damania announced on Sunday the formation of a political party with an aim to “transform” Maharashtra’s politics. Addressing a press conference in Mumbai, Damania said the name and the symbol of the party would be declared after it was registered. “It is time to conduct politics on principles and ethics and raise issues for the welfare of the people and the state. “When we step out of the house, we should keep our caste and religion inside and be an Indian citizen,” Damania said and called for people’s support to bring a “revolution”. Damania said technology and social media would be used to reach out to all sections of society. The former convener of the Maharashtra state unit of Aam Admi Party, Damania had filed PILs against state politicians Chhagan Bhujbal and Eknath Khadse. Maharashtra politics has been in flux since 2022 when Shiv Sena headed by Uddhav Thackeray split, leading to the collapse of the state government. In July 2023, NCP headed by Sharad Pawar imploded with his nephew Ajit Pawar joining the Mahayuti government. PTI MR NSK This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.

Jets' Ulbrich says Rodgers 'absolutely' remains the team's starting quarterbackThe Netherlands is considering placing a hard cap on its population numbers, following a review by a government commission into demographic development. The proposals would involve a move away from mass immigration and encourage longer hours and later retirement for the indigenous Dutch. The commission recommended moderate population growth, in order to help pay for the countries aging population, but also recommended a population cap of between 19 and 20 million. On Tuesday, Dutch immigration minister Marjolein Faber and social affairs minister Eddy van Hijum confirmed that the cabinet 'supports the need to work towards that [20m] scenario and to get a grip on migration'. The ministers said they would be introducing the 'toughest ever package of measures to limit asylum' and would be 'more selective and targeted policy for all other forms of migration, including labour and education-related movement'. Next week the Dutch government is expected to implement more stringent border controls. It has been reported that the new measures will be in place for six months and will include asylum permits being limited to three years and restrictions on family members joining successful asylum seekers. The new measures were agreed after months of debate. Geert Wilders PVV party is the largest in the governing coalition. Wilders insisted on declaring the current situation a 'crisis', thus enabling the government to circumvent parliament on the issue. The legality of the move was questioned even by coalition partners of the PVV. Although Wilders controls the largest party in the government, he is not the prime minister. Wilders, who is a controversial figure, was unable to secure enough support to be selected for the role. Wilders supported the appointment of Dick Schoof as prime minister. Schoof is a political independent but was previously a member of the Dutch Labour Party. He also previously served as the head of the Dutch intelligence services. The proposals by the Dutch government to limit its population, specifically by cutting back on immigration, reflect a growing scepticism in Europe about the benefits of mass immigration. In Britain, Nigel Farage's Reform party came from nowhere at this year's general election and secured a record five seats in parliament. Yesterday the French government collapsed following a vote of no confidence, in no small part due to the actions of Marine Le Pen and her National Rally Party. Meanwhile in Germany, the likely next chancellor, Friedrich Merz, is expected to take a much tougher line on immigration than his immediate predecessors.GREENSBORO, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 21, 2024-- Tanger® (NYSE: SKT) , a leading owner and operator of outlet and open-air retail shopping destinations, has earned additional recognition from national certification programs for taking steps to address climate change and enhance well-being at its centers.

The open-air outlet center in Nashville, Tennessee, which opened last year, was designed with extensive features – like on-site solar energy infrastructure – that help to address the impacts of climate change and enhance community well-being, in support of Tanger’s overall sustainability commitments. Photo credit: Tanger “As a key part of Tanger’s mission, we strive to deliver the best experience for all who shop, dine and work in and around our shopping destinations. Providing for the well-being of our communities through sustainable, healthy operations is a vital part of that commitment,” said Jessica Norman, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary for Tanger, who oversees the company’s environmental, social, and governance program and disclosures. “These recognitions from respected benchmark programs verify the steps we’ve taken to prepare our centers for the impacts of a changing climate and have positioned us to better serve the needs of our communities, in keeping with our core value to consider our communities first.” LEED Tanger Outlets Nashville in Tennessee has achieved LEED Silver® certification for Building Design and Construction (BD+C): Core and Shell Development from the U.S. Green Building Council. LEED® is the world's most widely used green building rating system, recognizing best-in-class building strategies and practices. With this certification, Tanger Nashville becomes the 20th shopping center in Tanger’s portfolio to be certified in the LEED program and Tanger’s third retail development to achieve BD+C certification for addressing carbon impacts in the design and construction process. Tanger Nashville’s transformational design supports sustainability through on-site solar energy production, water use reduction systems, low-emitting materials, lighting controls, electric vehicle charging, and more. The center fosters engagement and well-being through ease of access, walkability, green and gathering spaces, an extensive mural arts program, and restaurants, retail brands, and experiences that celebrate the local culture and community. Opened in October 2023, the development has also helped to revitalize the Southeast Nashville community that surrounds it, fueling job creation, economic health, and business growth in the area. Earlier this year, the Nashville chapter of the Urban Land Institute recognized Tanger Nashville with a 2024 Excellence in Development Award for being one of the best and most innovative projects in the region and for its positive impacts on the community. Tanger Nashville will next pursue LEED Gold® for Operations and Maintenance (O+M) certification, as will Bridge Street Town Centre, Tanger’s open-air lifestyle shopping destination in Huntsville, Alabama. Tanger has 18 other shopping centers that have achieved LEED Gold O+M certification (one of which also achieved BD+C certification), reflecting Tanger’s deep commitment to best-in-class, sustainable operations across its portfolio. StormReady Tanger has also taken steps to mitigate the potential impacts of severe weather on its operations, for the benefit of all who work and shop at its centers. Tanger partners with the U.S. Department of Commerce and National Weather Service to ensure its shopping centers are “StormReady” and has been recognized as a Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association. These programs help communities strengthen local safety programs and preparation skills needed to protect lives and property in extreme weather and water events. The scenario-specific Weather-Ready plans Tanger maintains at its centers have helped its local team members remain safe and mitigate property damage during events like this year’s devastating hurricanes. In the wake of Hurricane Helene, Tanger’s center in Asheville, North Carolina, was well prepared to support the community, hosting emergency responders on-site and quickly restoring business operations to serve residents and business partners. WELL Health and Safety As part of its commitment to the well-being of people at its centers, Tanger achieved and has maintained the WELL Health-Safety Rating for Facility Operations and Management for all the shopping centers it owned and managed in the U.S. in 2022. This year, Tanger Outlets Nashville also achieved this Rating, and the two newest additions to Tanger’s portfolio, in Huntsville, AL, and Asheville, NC, are expected to achieve it in 2025. A component of the International WELL Building Institute’s WELL Building Standard, the WELL Health-Safety Rating recognizes owners and operators like Tanger that prioritize the health and safety of their team members, visitors, and stakeholders. Tanger also participates in the WELL at Scale program to maintain its WELL Ratings more efficiently and benchmark its health and well-being efforts across the portfolio.
